Vegas Confirms: Dukes Most Overrated Team!

Thanks to a tip from Chancellor Von Helmut, whose noted gambling problem often leads him to http://www.vegasinsider.com/ , the Dukes have been listed as the most overrated team in college basketball!

While anyone who bets on or against the Dukes on a regular basis would know this, its actually gratifying that the Dukes get some attention on the national level. I am personally happy just to be any type of 'rated,' be it over or under. Then again, its hard to rate a 3-24 team.

Don't look know, the Dukes are only a game and a half from not making the A-10 tourney! This would be a massive setback in the development of the program. It also shows how deep the A-10 really is. We need to win, and we need to win now. Most likely one more win will lock up a trip to Atlantic City.

That being said, I think the A-10 title is completely up for grabs. In my opinion, Umass is the number two pick next to Xavier. When they want to, they can play with any team in college hoops.

Now that LaSalle and Richmond both have winning records and sit 8-5 in A-10 play (t-third with temple), those close losses don't seem quite as bad.

GW pounced Rhode Island last night 85-68. Looks like the Rams bubble burst after tough losses to Temple, SJU, Umass, and Xavier. Their NCAA tourney hopes are pretty much shot. That "tough loss" that the Dukes had at Rhode Island this year isn't looking so good now.

The Dukes are 0-3 since I started this blog.
